A British man, claiming to be a pharmacist from Birmingham, has been detained by US-backed Kurdish forces on suspicion of being part of the Islamic State.
The man, who says his name is Anwar Miah, was arrested inside Syria, near the Iraqi border nearly a month ago.
Footage posted by a pro-Kurdish social media account claimed that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and a YPG patrol arrested the man.
US-backed Kurdish forces captured Anwar Miah in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour a month ago, the BBC reported.
In the video posted on Saturday, the man spoke with a British accent and said he had lived in Syria for “just under four years”.
